The closest tool I could think of for what you want is 'enscript'. It knows how
to parse quite a number of languages, and supports multiple output formats,
such as ps and html.
I would just write together some scripts that inject the generated output (either
text or image) into the output stream.
I don't think docbook and docbook formatters are the right place to look for
parsers for programming languages, especially if your focus is on syntax, not
semantics.
